Raising Awareness of Gender Diversity Issues in Germany

Diversity

Europe

Our German offices have devised a comprehensive program of training and activities known as "Women@HL," aimed at raising awareness of gender diversity issues and organizing internal and client events relating to gender diversity, assisting our women lawyers in their career development, and providing networking and other opportunities.

The Women@HL program provides communication and strategy training to female lawyers; encourages internal networking at regular Ladies' Lunches; offers role models and networking opportunities at the client event series Women of Achievement, where prominent successful women are invited to discuss relevant topics with clients and lawyers; provides access to gender coaching; and encourages attendance at third-party events through membership in external network organizations.

The program was recognized with the 2014 PMN Award for Personnel Development as well as by the leading German legal publisher Juve with two successive nominations for the azur Award in 2013 and 2014.
